Work on the Taxiway Golf Project began this summer and Rocky Mountain Construction was
able to accomplish all work north of Runway 7/25 before the construction season ended. Rocky
Mountain Construction is anticipating resuming work on this project during the first week of
May 2020, with full project completion slated for mid July 2020.
Work areas 1, 2, and 3 are the only areas remaining for the project. These work areas will
require the closure of Taxiway Golf from Runway 7/25 to the South EOR. There will also be a
one-week closure of RWY 7/25 during this time period as well. As schedules are finalized in the
spring all tenants will be kept apprised of the closure schedules for various portions of airport
pavements.
Work Areas 1 and 2 will include between 4” and 6” of pavement removal and replacement.
New underdrain will be installed along the edge of the taxiway and all new LED lights and signs
will be installed as well. Work Area 3 will include underdrain installation and new LED lights
and signs.

You may have noticed that the airport wayfinding signs have been dismantled. Airport staff are
working through a complete rehabilitation of all airport wayfinding signage around the airport.
All signage is in the process of being sandblasted and repainted. Upon completion of the
painting, the Airport is also updating the nomenclature on each sign to reflect the most current
information. Please use extra caution when driving around the airport as staff members are
working near the roadways to finalize the completion of this project.
The annual tenant snow meeting is scheduled for Tuesday November 26, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. at
the Airport Administration Building. All tenants are welcome to attend. The meeting will cover
a brief overview of the Snow and Ice Control Plan, priority removal areas, removal locations,
stockpiling locations, removal timing, common NOTAM publications, how to handle snow in
front of hangar doors, and de-icing applications. There will also be a time for a question and
answer session with Airport Operations staff. We look forward to seeing you at this meeting.

Snow Removal Reminders
1. The Airport will plow no closer than 4 feet from hangar doors.
2. Do not throw snow out onto previously plowed taxilanes. Please coordinate removal of
snow from immediately in front of hangar areas with Airport Operations by calling 541-
891-2620.
3. As much as possible do not drive across snow that has not been plowed.
5. Do not pull out in front of plow trucks as their ability to stop is greatly reduced.
6. General Aviation hangar areas are listed as Priority 3 in the Airport’s Snow and Ice
Control Plan. The goal of the Operations teams is to remove the snow from the airfield
first and then work in towards the hangar areas.
AIRCRAFT WASH RACK
The aircraft wash rack in the West General
Aviation Area has been turned off and
winterized as of the last week of October. To
prevent pipes from freezing and bursting the
wash rack is winterized each fall. The wash rack
will be turned back on as weather allows in the
spring, usually this occurs in mid-April.
The Airport successfully completed their annual
Part 139 certification inspection on August 21.
The inspection resulted in 0 discrepancies being
noted for the Airport. This is the third time in
four years the airport has received an error free
inspection.
